Are these airtight? Can I use them for storing spices?

I wouldn't recommend the use of these jars for spice storage. They are made to go in the 'fridge to store yogurt, so I couldn't guarantee they would be adequately airtight for spices. I would recommend something with a vacuum seal.

They are reasonably air tight. I can tip them over and my yogurt doesn't leak, but you need to make sure they are on snug. I think they'd be good for your purpose. I don't keep my spices more than 6 months anyway. only buy small amounts for that reason. Hope this helps. they are good jars.

I would think they would work nicely for spices. It is a screw top lid so they seal quite well hope this helps

The jars are glass and the tops are plastic. I would not say they are as airtight as glass and metal would be. Suggest your get small mason jars as their lids have metal inserts with a rubber seal. Cheaper too.

No. There is a seal but it's not airtight. I mainly use this as a decorative piece for my counter. I love it like that.

I don't think the're airtight but the ones I have are defective. The "zip strip" is not attatched to both sides of the bag, so they don't seal at all. I havepurchased these big zip bags for a few years now and have some old ones here but these are manufactured wrongly.

I suppose you could, but if they are in plastic, the container might melt. The Best way to store spices would be in a jar that seals well and does not get exposed to light. If you are in a very humid climate, then a short stay less and two hours in an open jar in the brisker might help keep them dry.

Yes, they are airtight. I use them though for flavored water, not juicing. They do seal very well.

yes i have sealed spices and stored them in the freezer or refrigerator. you have to check the bags after a couple of days as sometimes they get a pinhole in them and lose their seal. but overall they work great

Yes the lids seem airtight to me. They have screw on grooves that secure on pretty well. Interesting idea to use them for dry snacks. Will have to try.

These are very good a storing dry goods. Since the lids are watertight they hold in the product's freshness very well. As will any dry goods though, make sure that you eliminate as much oxygen as possible. Adding oxygen absorbers and/or flushing the container with nitrogen is recommended.

I can't say for certain, but I've been storing spices in them for the past few months and have had no issues with them. I just washed them throughly when they arrived.

THEY ARE NOT AIRTIGHT!!!! Good for crafts or buttons I guess? The plastic seal between the metal cap and the jar is not designed to be airtight seal.

No, not necessarily. They can be stored in airtight container until next use. They are very dry. I've had mine for months stored this way..

Yes, they are airtight. I shake liquids around in them all the time. These lids aren't for canning purposes, though.

These canisters do have a gel seal around the inside of the covers. As long as you keep them clean from the contents, the seal is airtight.

I have never put food in them so I can't answer that. Airtight, perhaps, but not watertight, I am sure. it is plastic to plastic base to lid.

No, not airtight. I only fill mine 1/4 full and store remaining beans in original bag or in another airtight container. I use a strip of press & seal between lid and bowl to help keep beans fresh.

yes, it is airtight. It never last long enough to go stale, the container is really small if you stack up, it's a poor design, it takes half the room. Today I only use it to store tea bags, formula, things that takes little room. I now use the zoli sumo snack stack.

Lids are not loose they fit tight. Not sure what you mean by airtight , but the lids on mine fit tight ,sometimes its hard to get them off .
